    Thanks all. Hopefully I'll be ok tomorrow at work. If not I will just come back home. I need the distractions as the more I think or talk about it the worse I feel.

    The shock is subsiding. Still very upset about it all. We had started to get excited and got our hopes up. It's difficult to cope with but We have to somehow.

    Got to wait for my period to start before anything else happens. Don't know when it will start as only stopped taking Crinone on Friday.

    Feeling really good now, through the day I'm happy and full of energy, though by 6ish I start flagging and by 9 I'm ready for bed!

    Still no sign of AF, I started down regulating on CD29 so am now CD37, no idea when AF will happen?

    Hey all

    Work was fine yesterday my boss came to speak to me and was lovely. I cried a bit but then work took over. Was a welcome distraction. Today the builder came to do some jobs while I was at work. Jobs we were getting done in preparation for the new arrival. It's made me feel good though as they are things we had put off.

    Thanks all for your support.

    Hope all is well with everyone xxx

    Thanks for all the good wishes ladies, unfortunately they were unable to do the procedure, as a result of my surgery the opening is too small for them to insert a catheter into. They called a consultant in to have a try as well so I had an audience of three by the end :o This is being relayed back to my fertility consultant, who I am expecting to refer me for further surgery to correct it. They didn't say as much but I am guessing this will explain our lack of success so far - I have been saying this all along so a little frustrated but will just have to wait and see what happens next.

    Talk about an audience :rotfl:
    Sorry to hear that it didnt go well though Shrimpy It must be frustrating being sent from one thing to another. How long do you think it will be until you get to see your fertility consultant?

    frozenpenguin I think I'm ready to be added to the list if thats ok.
    We are trying naturally and waiting to see fertility specialist.

    I have my ultrasound tomorrow (After ringing 50 different numbers to chase it up) to see if the abdominal pain I have is an ovarian cyct. Not sure if its an internal or external ultrasound, probably should of asked but can't face ringing them back now as it taks so long to get through.
